IMPROVED SIRUP-STAND FOR SODA-FOUNTAINS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 49,335, dated August 8, 1865.

county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsyh' Vania, have invented a new and Improved Mineral-Water-Sirup Stand and we do hereby de- "clare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the an neXed drawings, making a part ot' this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective viewof the sirupstand with the lid .B thrown up to show the construction ofthe interior parts. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section ot the same with the lid B in its downward position.

Like letters in both the figures represent the same parts of the stand.

The nature of our invention and improvement mainly consists in constructing a stand forcontaining mineral-water sirups of cast-iron and euameling the inner and outer surfaces of the same to protect them from the action ot' the acid. i

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

A is the stand, which we usually place on the slab of a mineral-water fountain, so as to have the sirups convenient for use. We construct the stand with a plurality of compartments, c, to hold different kinds of sirnp7 each compartment being provided with a faucet, b, for draw in g the same.

There is a hingeddid, B, which lies dat on the top ofthe' stand, to exclude the external atmosphere from the sirops, as represented in Fig. 2 but is thrown up to provide for filling the compartments, as represented in Fig. 1. We enamel both the inner and outer surfaces of the stand to protect them from the acid contained in the sirups. We usually plate the faucets b With silver, for the double purpose ot' protecting them from the acids and to improve their appearance. We arrange the bottom c of the compartments on an angle downward toward the front of the stand, for the purpose of readily drawing the sirups clean from the bottom.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl Constructing' mineral-water-sirup stands of cast-iron and enameling the interior and exterior surfaces of the same to protect them from the action of the acid contained in the sirups.

In testimony that the above is our invention We have hereunto set our hands and at'- txed our seals this 15th day of June, 1865.
